A word I thought I would never be familiar with. I went to the surgeon. They think I have this. I went for test yesterday. I did fine for the first half of the test. It's nothing more than a huge machine taking pictures of your liver, gallbladder and intestines. Pretty simple. They do have to give you an IV though....my 3rd in as many days. :( The first medicine was fine. I didn't feel a thing. Then after an hour they put in the second medicine. Within seconds I was dying in that awful stomach pain again. I had to endure this for an hour.....one of the longest hours of my life.
The Dr. and I are pretty convinced it's now my gallbladder causing all this trouble. I haven't heard from anyone. I tried to eat again yesterday. It hurt. {sigh}. I am so hungry and the only thing I can manage is Diet Pepsi. I haven't had a cup of coffee in a week or more...although, that's not such a bad thing.
I go in Monday for a laprascope. They will cut an incision in my belly and stick a camera in to look around. They will fix the hernia at the same time and she may very well take my gallbladder then too. I have to wait to see what she wants to do. If the test come back with a blockage I will be in surgery tomorrow. This is just crazy. I sleep a lot. I haven't been to work all week. I am just managing with the kids but I have been so grumpy with them and it's taking it's toll on us all. It's so hard to be a good mom when all you want to do all day is throw up. :(
So that is the short version of all of this. I will update as I can.
love,
Michelle
